rifled firearms

Rifled firearms are guns whose barrels have spiral grooves — called rifling — cut into the inside. These grooves spin the bullet as it travels down the barrel, increasing stability and accuracy. The spin helps the bullet maintain a straight, predictable path, especially over longer distances. Rifled barrels are common in rifles and many handguns, making them more precise than smoothbore guns, which lack these grooves. This design enhances shooting accuracy and consistency, making rifled firearms ideal for target shooting, hunting, and precision shooting.
